Time Management for a More Productive Workday
The 40-hour work week isn't arbitrary, Henry Ford's own experiments found that working over 60 hours a week boosts output for only 2 to 3 weeks before productivity declines. This practical eBook shares time management and productivity habits so you can focus better, manage your workload more effectively, and get more out of your workday.
Inside the eBook
- Multitasking isn't really doing two things at once, it's rapidly switching focus between them, and it takes about 25 minutes to fully regain concentration after each interruption.
- Checking email only a few set times a day, using the 4 D's (do, delegate, defer, delete), and keeping messages to five sentences or fewer can cut down significantly on time lost managing your inbox.
- In one productivity poll, 67% of people reported feeling most productive before 11am, making mornings the best window for high-focus work.
- The Pomodoro technique, 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break, mirrors the "pulse and pause" method athletes use to build stamina and helps offset the natural decline in focus through the day.
- Happier employees are up to 30% more productive, and happy salespeople report 37% more sales, evidence that well-being drives output more than hours worked.
- StarGarden's own team shares specific daily habits, from prioritizing your top 3 tasks each morning to a weekly 15-minute planning session, that you can start using right away.
Includes the Eisenhower box for prioritizing tasks, the Pomodoro technique for sustaining focus, and real day-to-day habits from StarGarden's own team.
